31、was still the machine at the hospital. Every night, he would use his master key to get into the closed library and favour his curiosity as never before.

A fourteen-year-old boy in Scottsdale, Arizona, put his $50 bill

37、纸币on a color copying machine called a copier. Within seconds he transformed $50 into $550, and he was ready to shop.Twenty years ago only a few people had the skills or equipment to make fake money. Today computer, copier, and printer 印刷机 technology is so good that almost anyone can “make money. Wit

38、h the new technology there is a new kind of casual faking machine. These machines are called casual because they dont have special skills and because they dont need to plan much.The number of bills made by casual fakers on their home or office computer is growing fast. In fact, this number has doubl

39、ed every year since 1989! There is no way to stop faking 100 percent. But the government has recently found a few ways to make casual faking very difficult.One way is to put very, very small words, called microprints 微型印刷品, in hidden places on the bill. The words are only 6/1000 inch. No one can rea

40、d them without a magnifying glass, a special glass that makes things look bigger. And they are too small to come out clearly on a copier.

41、other way to stop people from making fake money on their home computers is to use special color-changing ink.

42、l ink and can be noticed quite easily.Additionally, money is made on special paper with very small pieces of red and blue silk mixed in. And on each bill there is a special line that runs from the top to the bottom of the bill. Suppose, for example, that you hold a $20 bill up to the light. If you d

43、o this, you can see the line has the words “USA twenty. The line turns red if you put it under a special light. This line and the special paper with red and blue silk are not easy for home computers to copy.The government must try many different ways to stop faking. It needs to keep changing the way

44、 money is made because fakers can learn to copy the changes. Today copiers cant copy microprinted words or color-changing ink.
